Sully was having a smoke outside the city hall building. He was taking a short break from his job catering to a small picnic just across the street in a park. Holding the cigarette in between his index and middle finger, he took a drag, letting the smoke escape his mouth slowly afterwards.

He leaned back against the building, and watched as the occasional person or two wandering in and out of the city hall building. Some were cops, a few looked like lawyers, the rest appeared too simply be city workers.

A black car with tinted glass and red-colored plate stopped in front of the hall's main entrance door. After a while, Ariadne, one of the city legislators, stepped out from the car with the help of her butler. Even though she's blind, she was able to walk towards the main door without her butler's assistance. Then, after taking a deep breath, she stopped. She grabbed her revolver and accurately shot Sully's cigarette from his hand, "Good morning," she monotonously greeted him.

" Tch." Sully he rubbed his finger tips together. It was an odd feeling, having his cigarette shot out of his hand. " Mornin'." he grumbled. " I'm allowed to smoke here y'know."

And no he wasn't, there was a sign somewhere around the building that declared only a small smoking section somewhere a ways off. Otherwise, cigarettes were off limits. Either Sully had seen it and ignored it, or he had merely not passed the sign.. The former was more probable.

Ariadne, having a very short temper when it comes to disobedient citizens, approached Sully and took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket (he has those, right ? XD). She was able to know where it is because she smelt it. Then she threw it at the ground and shot at it, "I strongly believe you aren't, Mr. Sullivan Langley," she said.

"It's everyone's air, I can just move the smoke-filled ones somewhere else afterwards anyways." Sully said, not quite as irritated as her, but he certainly was annoyed. " And what the hell is wrong with you? Shooting a perfectly good pack of smokes." he said, clicking his tongue as if though it were a shame, even though he had a second pack stashed away in his backpack back at the park. He wasn't as surprised about her knowing his name. The town, and it's citizens, had gotten pretty weird.

" 'Sides, I'm sure it'd be far worse to smoke around children, no? Get my nicotine smell on them and all tha'. "

"Whether you can do that or not, the fact that you broke the rule here remains. Congratulations, you have just ruined my perfectly planned morning," she said irritably. "Plus, the smell of cigarettes sticks to your body... so... disgusting," she covered her nose. If only its possible for her to shot the smell off, she would. But the smell is really stuck on him xD, that's the main reason why she was able to recognize him immediately.

" Again, the feeling is mutual." Sully said, staying in his spot by the building, he glanced down at the shot up carton of cigarettes, before sighing. Cigarettes were expensive, and he was always low on money, so the sight depressed him a little.

Ariadne looked back at Sully upon remembering the new bill that she's working on now with the other legislators. "Oh before I go, and just so you know, the city will be imposing higher taxes on cigarettes. You better start preparing yourself to be a non-smoker," she winked at him.

Sully groaned," Thanks. You just ruined my day completely now. Probably my entire week too." he said, rubbing his forehead. He was never gonna quit smoking. Which meant.. he'd need to find another job or ask for a raise..

How she wished it would be for a month, or a year or anytime longer. Seeing him depressed quite decreased her irritable-ness... and she grinned a grin of victory. "Ahh, how I love my job," she sang while walking away from him.

Sully sighed, to get back at her, he through a sharp gust of cold air at her as she walked away, before picking up the pack of shot up cigarettes and tossing it away. He was a smoker, sure, but he didn't litter xD Cause that was just rude.

It just so happened that Ariadne picked up a piece of crumpled paper at the floor when Sully had the gust of cold air at her. Her skirt flipped and revealed her underwear, add to it the coldness she felt to be extremely cold. Her face flushed red and she yelled at Sully, "PERVERT!!!", not to forget this day.
